I'm going to be pedantic here!
You have asked how many horses have won the Triple crown but not specified WHICH Triple Crown. The Triple Crown in England has been around for a lot longer than the American version and the phrase 2Triple crown" was first used here in 1853 - but not until 1923 in the USA.
Fifteen colts have won the Enlgish Colt's Triple Crown (2000 Guineas Epsom Derby and St Leger):
1853 - West Australian
1865 - Gladiateur
1866 - Lord Lyon
1886 - Ormonde
1891 - Common
1893 - Isinglass
1897 - Galtee
1899 - Flying Fox
1900 - Diamond Jubilee
1903 - Rock Sand
1915 - Pommern
1917 - Gay Crusader
1918 - Gainsborough
1935 - Bahram
1970 - Nijinsky
